About the Artist

Alexandre Dang is a Belgian artist who delivers a message of sustainability in his playful installations of kinetic flower sculptures. He animates his work with solar power and wind power to celebrate renewable energy as the key to our future. Dang often installs his work in palaces, museums and civic buildings, where its airy presence stands in stark contrast to the ponderous footprint of the surrounding built environment. Dang brings color and movement into these spaces, encouraging us to embrace renewable energy as a path to growth that preserves our connection to nature.

In the artist’s words:

“Though the sun provides 10,000 times more energy to the earth than humans need, more than 1.3 billion people still do not have access to electricity. The pressing need to address this issue is the driving force behind my work.”

Activism: Dang founded Solar Solidarity International (a non-profit international association) to raise awareness about renewable energy and to install solar power systems in schools in developing countries.
